Day 5 : Goodbye Denver

Our trip has unfortunately come to an end, and we’re getting ready to head back home. We stop for coffee and breakfast at Dirt Coffee Bar, a place that hires neurodivergent individuals, and head to the airport since Madison leaves at 11.  As Madison’s trip comes to an end, I’m on my way to the… Continue reading Day 5 : Goodbye Denver

Day 4 : Colorado Cool

Boy was last night’s sleep much needed. We were able to sleep in until 8!  It’s our last full day here in Denver, so we’re knocking out the last of our to-dos today feeling well rested and rejuvenated.  First stop : Denver Botanic Garden.  I love me a botanical garden, and this one here is… Continue reading Day 4 : Colorado Cool

Day 3 : Altitude Thickness 

We're feeling more refreshed after getting a longer nights sleep last night, so we’re up and at it shortly after 6am.  We found the cutest coffee/bakery called Lilac. They had a Campfire S’mores latte that was absolutely delicious, and what better breakfast to pair with that than a Bonfire Burrito that was also delicious.  We’re… Continue reading Day 3 : Altitude Thickness

Day 2 : Off to a Rocky Start

Day 2 kicked off bright and early with a 5am wake up call. Am I tired after going to bed late after a travel and busy day? Yes. Is it going to be worth it? Also yes.  We’re off to do probably the #1 thing I’m most excited for this weekend - YOGA ON THE… Continue reading Day 2 : Off to a Rocky Start

We’re BACK for our 11th Annual New Year New Place trip!! This year we are on our way to Denver, CO!  If you’ve been following along for the last few years, you may be aware first day delays are sort of my thing.

Day 5 : Officially Home!

I’m sad to be leaving the DR after an amazing few days, but I’m happy to be heading home to my own bed and my husband. Our flight wasn’t until 1:30, but with international flights you have to get to the airport 3 hours ahead, so after some breakfast we were on our way around… Continue reading Day 5 : Officially Home!

Day 4 : This Sun is Different

Our last full day in the DR has unfortunately come. After a busy couple of days, today’s plans consist of rest, relaxation, and soaking up the sun on the beach and in the pool.  After our wildly late club night last night we woke up around 9 and got ready for the day. Our resort… Continue reading Day 4 : This Sun is Different

Day 3 : Bugged Out

Boy was that sleep last night much needed! Everyone awoke around 8am so we could have enough time to get ready, eat breakfast, and make it to our meeting spot for our excursion today.  We’re going buggy-ing! Today’s excursion is our favorite thing we have planned. We got to drive dune buggies to 3 different… Continue reading Day 3 : Bugged Out

Day 2: The Power of Sugar Cane

It’s our first full day in the DR and what better way to start than a cultural tour?! These types of tours might make for a long day, but boy are they worth it. You get to see so much in a relatively short amount of time. It was another early morning with breakfast at… Continue reading Day 2: The Power of Sugar Cane

Day 1 : MY 10th ANNUAL NEW YEAR NEW PLACE TRIP!!

If you would’ve told 20 year old me that 10 years from now (pretty much - I’m not quite 30 yet😂) I’d still be doing annual New Year New Place trips I don’t know if I’d believe you.  Of course when I made the goal I aspired for it to never end. There are endless… Continue reading Day 1 : MY 10th ANNUAL NEW YEAR NEW PLACE TRIP!!
